Master Physique Fondamentale Et Applications — Physique EAD (MPAD)

For Master Physique Fondamentale Et Applications — Physique EAD (MPAD), tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

Physique Fondamentale Et Applications, delivered in its Physique EAD format, known as MPAD, offers the same discipline of fundamental physics through distance learning at Aix-Marseille Université. Fundamental physics covers the core theoretical frameworks of the field, including classical and quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics and statistical physics, together with the mathematical tools used to model physical systems. In the distance-learning format, students follow this content remotely, working through recorded lectures, written materials and problem sets, with assessments and occasional practical sessions organized to accommodate students who cannot attend classes on campus full time. This mode of study is often chosen by students combining their studies with employment, family responsibilities, or geographic distance from Marseille, while still working toward a full physics master's degree. Coursework typically spans mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum physics and mathematical methods for physics, building the theoretical foundation needed for further specialization or research in physics. Graduates go on to further graduate study, research positions, or roles in engineering, technical industries and teaching that draw on advanced physics training. The programme is based in Marseille Cedex 3, France, and is delivered over two years as a master's degree, with an intake in September. Instruction is in French throughout, including the distance-learning materials, and yearly tuition is 250 EUR, so applicants need a solid command of French to follow the coursework independently.

Aix-Marseille University is the largest multidisciplinary French-speaking university, hosting 80,000 students and 8,000 staff across five large campuses. It is a research-intensive institution known for its international outlook and commitment to academic excellence.
